Not a single blood?

But seriously, there are some varieties that have nice looking fruits. I've been trying to browse the site for more info but it's kinda hard...

It's fascinating how different these two are.

Thanks Radoslav!

I'd like to know more about Hybrid No.1 オレンジカラタチ中間母本農1号
Trovita Orange + Trifoliate orange (cell fusion) somatic hybrid. I wonder how it tastes? Cold hardiness? I will have to wait many years before I can attempt this hybrid myself.

according to: http://www.naro.affrc.go.jp/org/fruit/kih/data/tyubo/orangekaratachi01.html
"... fruit resembles orange in appearance, cannot be eaten out of hand, because it is extremely acidic, membranes are bitter ..." - (no mention of poncirus taste.)

Takagi mandarin 高木蜜柑

citrus leiocarpa x citrus unshiu

Originated from Takagi`s orchard in Yokosecho. Tree smaller than satsuma tree. Ripening November/December. Fruit of medium size, very flat. Skin thiner than on satsuma, hard to peel.
Aroma similiar to citrus leiocarpa, taste sweeter than satsuma.
